Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes (With Wheat Germ) image

Holy Colon-Blow, Batman! Please don't let the uber-healthy, fiber filled name of this recipe turn you off. (Because in reality, these are quite good, and good for you too!) My sweet girl, Lauren's folks gave us a 5 lb ricotta cheese container filled with WHEAT GERM, which they had bought in bulk. My frantic search for "wheat germ" recipes led me to this one--and I'm sticking with it! They came out nice and fluffy. Can be served with maple syrup, but I think fruit jam, jelly or even honey would be nice as well.
